Apple iPhone 18 Pro Max and iPhone 18 Pro: What can be new
The upcoming iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max may get some massive changes, including a new advanced 2-nanometer A20 Bionic chip built on TSMC’s process node. The leaks also suggest that the devices will have a standard 12GB of RAM for better performance and on-device AI processing.
In terms of design, the devices may be the first to get an under-display Face ID system. It may happen by moving the biometric sensors beneath the glass and may also result in shrinking the Dynamic Island cutout for a more immersive viewing experience.

Another change could be a unified triple 48MP rear array where the ultra-wide and periscope telephoto lenses finally match the main sensor’s resolution. The primary camera may also get a variable aperture lens to mechanically control light and produce DSLR-like background blur.
